MediaTek Helio G90, G90T gaming-centred chipsets with HyperEngine tech launched

Smartphone gaming has seen a boom lately, and MediaTek has now joined the fellow chipmakers by launching its gaming-centric chipsets, the Helio G90 and Helio G90T with HyperEngine game technology. The Taiwanese chipmaker says that the Helio G90 Series of chipsets combine the CPU and GPU cores with MediaTek’s HyperEngine game technology that tunes the smartphone for gaming. The Helio G90 Series uses Arm Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55 cores which can be clocked up to 2.05GHz. The chipset will also feature Arm Mali-G76 3EEMC4 GPU with clock speeds of up to 800MHz. MediaTek claims that the GPU can offer up to 50 percent performance boost.

“The mobile gaming market is growing and device makers are looking to give consumers and especially gaming fans the best smartphone game-play experience. That’s why we designed the G90 series. Our combination of hardware and software delivers high performance, unrivalled image quality, uninterrupted connectivity, and smooth responsive action even in the most demanding games. With the Helio G90 series, you get a super-fast and responsive display and reduced lag for smoother gameplay. Whether it’s Fortnite, PUBG or other top titles, this chip is a gaming powerhouse,” TL Lee, General Manager of MediaTek’s Wireless Communication business unit, said in a statement.

Performance

The new G90 Series will support up to 10GB of LPDDR4x RAM. MediaTek’s HyperEngine game technology has an array of engines to boost the mobile gaming experience. MediaTek’s HyperEngine technology includes:

Networking Engine: It optimises the connection between smartphone and cellular network. The chipmaker says that when it detects the Wi-Fi signal degrading, it triggers Wi-Fi and LTE concurrency in milliseconds to keep the game “lag-free”. It claims that even with a crowded network, gamers will get up to a 50 percent faster response than competing solutions. Further, the Dual Wi-Fi Connections allows a single smartphone antenna to be connected to two Wi-Fi bands (2.4GHz/5GHz) or two routers simultaneously for a decrease in latency and game jitter reduction.

These chipsets support Call and Data Concurrency, which basically means that when you receive a call, there won’t be a drop in data connection. MediaTek says that users can defer a call without leaving the game, that is, the data connection remains live and the game server connection does not drop. The Rapid Response Engine uses touch acceleration to improve in-game action-to-display speeds.

The Resource Management Engine is said to direct device resources to deliver for “optimum performance”. The Picture Quality Engine provides support for the HDR10 standard with 10-bit Color Depth on HDR-enabled smartphone displays.

Cameras

Both the chipsets feature triple-ISP design for “fast, precise” AI facial detection. On the premium imaging side, the chipsets support up to 64MP single camera and multi-camera combinations. The chipsets have a dedicated ‘night shot’ mode that uses quad-pixel technology to capture clearer images in low-light conditions. The chipsets’ multi-camera (Triple/Quad) framework also supports ultra-wide, telescopic and/or sub-sensor for depth-mapping or HDR. They support video recording at up to 240fps.

Xiaomi, Realme, Vivo and Moto to launch G90-powered phones

Manu Kumar Jain, Managing Director of Xiaomi India, announced that the company would launch a MediaTek Helio G90T-powered gaming phone soon. Representatives from Realme, Vivo and Moto told Digit that they could also launch G90-powered phones, however, they refrained from giving out any timeline for these launches.

20th Century Fox researchers create AI model to predict audience for a movie

Image
In a first, researchers from 20th Century Fox film studios have developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered model to predict what target audience will most likely see a movie. The prediction is done on the basis of the film’s trailer. Since video trailers are one of the most critical elements of marketing campaigns for new films, the model can provide an opportunity to filmmakers to make movies depending on the interests of general moviegoer population, easily communicate the plot of the movie to them, present the main characters, and reveal important hints about the story. This could also help them to understand what aspects of the movie the audience liked and what parts they did not. “These insights typically determine the strategy for the rest of the marketing campaign. In this paper we present a tool, which we call Merlin Video, that uses computer vision to create dense representations of the movie trailer, and uses those representations to predict customer behaviour.

Alleged iPhone SE 2 leaked renders tip old design, single rear camera, Touch ID and more

Image
Apple is rumoured to launch the iPhone SE successor - tentatively called the iPhone SE 2 - in 2020. Now, alleged iPhone SE 2 renders have leaked online. The phone is supposed to pack flagship internals in a not-so-flagship level design. The first leak-based renders and 360-degree video of alleged iPhone SE 2 suggest that it will carry the design of iPhone 8, which means it will come with the Touch ID button. Further, the leaks reveal a single rear camera setup. The latest development comes courtesy of tipster @OnLeaks in collaboration with iGeeksBlog. At first glance, the iPhone SE 2 looks like the iPhone 8. However, there are said to be a few differentiating factors, both internally and externally, to distinguish between the two phones. On the exterior, the iPhone SE 2 is touted to come with a frosted glass finish similar to the one seen on iPhone 11 Pro. The leaked renders suggest that iPhone SE 2 will sport a stainless steel frame that looks like iPhone X’s frame.  iPhone SE 2 is

After Facebook, Apples plan to introduce Apple Pay in India stalls: Report

Image
Apple’s plans to introduce its UPI-based payments platform ‘Apple Pay’ seem to have hit a brick wall. According to a report in The Economic Times, the reason for this is that the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) recently laid out rules which make it mandatory for any company, who wishes to introduce payment service in India, to save all the related data on local servers in the country. Citing people with the knowledge of the matter, the national daily reported that apart from Apple and Facebook, Amazon has also stalled the full rollout of its service, Amazon Pay. Google, which recently renamed its UPI-based service ‘Tez’ to ‘Google Pay’, is also reported to be “assessing the evolving situation around data localisation.” With the rules in place, other players like Facebook, Mastercard, Visa, and PayPal are also uncertain of going ahead with their plans. “Apple put the brakes on introducing Apple Pay in the country despite holding discussions with a few leading banks and the National Payme
